Switch on the PhysioQuant Recorder and place it in the carrier bag.
Use the belt to attach the bag to the body of the patient. For hygienic
reasons, the bag should not come into direct contact with the skin.
Place the cuff tube around the patient's neck in order to release any
strain and connect it to the PhysioQuant (see
4.7 Connecting the cuff to the recorder,
page 26
)
.
Ensure that the tube cannot become disconnected while the
measurement is being taken.
6.8 Test
measurement
A test measurement must always be carried out after the cuff has been
attached and the recorder connected.
In order to avoid any incorrect measurements, please ensure that the
patient remains calm while the measurement is being taken. The patient
may stand up or sit down.
Begin the measurement by pressing:
After a brief moment, the device will inflate the cuff. Once the required
inflation pressure has been reached, the device will gradually decrease
the pressure. Cuff pressures are displayed and for every detected
oscillation the letter '
M
' will be displayed. Once the measurement has
been taken, the following information is displayed sequentially:
•
Systolic value (S/mmHg)
•
Diastolic value (D/mmHg)
•
Pulse rate (HR/min-1)
If an error message is displayed instead of the measurement value, e.g.
'E 08' (insufficient recognition of oscillation), then attach the cuff more
firmly and press the Start/Stop button again.
If the test measurement has been successful, then the device is ready for
automatic measurement.
